Personalized Wood Veneer Keep Sake Postcards and Invitations

Have your travel photo turned into a beautiful keep-sake, with an artist's rendering on a wood-veneer post card created especially for you!
Or create your own special invitation for a family reunion, wedding, or other special event.

Simply email your digital photo (scenery only!) to info@stellalucente.com or info@learntravelitalian.com.
Our master carpenter uses a special, patented process to apply your photo directly to his own wood veneer cuttings of beautiful maple, ash, or other American medium hardwood.
The woods are cut paper-thin (about 20 thousands of an inch) and finished professionally to bring out the beautiful luster and grain of the wood on the flip side.
This process will allow your photos to last for years, and also makes them suitable for framing. Or, use the flip side of the post card to write a special note, address it to that special someone, and send it
through the mail!

These cards make wonderful "save-the-date" post cards prior to any family reunion.
With our specialized application, we can personalize your "save- the- date" card with a picture of the family's town of origin, and the name of the town can be digitally added by our graphics
artists on request!

The flip side of these cards can be left blank and the card inserted into an envelope as part of a formal invitation to a wedding or other special event.
Or, have our graphic artists design your invitation, with a photo on one side and the event information on the back. Simply email us the photo you would like to use and the information
to be included on the
flip side of the card and let us do the rest!

Any digital photo can also be turned into a line drawing or water color image. This takes a little extra time, but makes a truly unique work of art.

Abruzzo Postcard

The photograph of the charming town of Capistrello in the Abruzzo region of Italy used to make this postcard was taken in springtime on a beautiful, sun-lit day, from Capistrello’s sister city Pescocanale, which provided a vantage point from across the mountains. There are hundreds of medieval towns similar to Capistrello nestled in the countryside around the cities of Italy!

Roman Coliseum Postcard

What trip to Italy would be complete without a visit to one of its most well-known ancient sites, the Roman Coliseum? When photographed at night, the arches have a special glow that brings back those feelings of wonder and awe that the coliseum inspires.

Venetian Gondolas Postcard

The Venetian gondola , used for centuries as a necessary means of transportation through the patchwork of canals that form the “roads” that criss-cross this special city on the sea, has evolved into an icon of Italian culture and way of living. The gondola and Venice have become synonymous with the good-life, or “dolce vita.” Recognized the world over, the picture of the Grand Canal on this post card will inspire dreams and maybe even a real-life trip to the famous city.

Venetian Canal Postcard

This photograph of a Venetian canal, taken in the residential part of Venice, away from the throngs of tourists, is a charming rendition of what life is still like on the main island. Taken in the afternoon, after the clothes had been put out on the line to dry and residents had parked their boats and are in preparing the main meal, this photo brings back memories of special days spent exploring the walk-ways through the real Venice.
